Suggestion needed: Replacement to Intel D845GVSR board

[tmbsundar]

One of my old system's D845GVSR Intel board died. The technician also said it can't be repaired.

The processor is Celeron 2.4 GHz.

I think it only supports IDE HDD. I recently (6 months ago) purchased an IDE disk. Also a recent DDR 400 RAM is in there.

What is the best replacement board to go for? Do I go for D845 again(it it is available in the market?) or go for a better board which is currently good which supports the processor above.

In that case, the modern board may not support IDE.

Please give me suggestions as to what to do?

You can use a sata to ide cable to connect the disk which can be used in any of the new motherboards available in the market, but you wont be able to use a ddr ram to the new mobo's. Best choice for you would be to go for 845 board which will support both the ram and the ide drive as well. Hope that helps.
